How Do You Open A Locked Door With A Card

Here is another life hack for you.

How do you open a locked door with a card.

Just keep in mind that this technique only works on doors that have a simple knob lock with a spring latch or a slanted latch. It does move a little though when a door knob is turned even if the door is locked. Opening a door with a credit card works on a lockset because it s a lock that has a barrel that fits through the strike of the door jam. Bend the card back towards the frame to force the lock into the door.

If it is slide a credit card you don t mind damaging between the lock and the door frame. If you re desperate enough to break the door a good old fashioned swat style kick may do the trick. To open your door wiggle a card into the gap between the door and the door frame. A spring lock is slanted and is part of the handle.

Ever locked yourself out and have no way of getting in. As long as the lock is turned the door won t open.
